Brie vs Marker.io

Brie and Marker.io both turn a bug into a developer-ready report, a visual capture plus technical context, and create an issue in your tracker. Brie is a good fit for teams that want session replay, video, automatic in-browser redaction, multi-browser support, an open-source extension, and EU hosting. Marker.io may be the better choice if your team already uses it or wants its website feedback widget workflow.

Where Brie stands out

Session replay and video, not just annotated screenshots

Brie captures a session replay and video alongside console and network logs, so developers can watch what happened before the bug rather than working from a single annotated image.

Redaction before data leaves the browser

Brie redacts tokens, API keys, authorization headers, credentials, and financial data with [REDACTED_BY_BRIE] before a report is stored, and blocks recording on login and payment pages.

Open source and EU hosted

The Brie extension is open source on GitHub, and Brie runs on Hetzner infrastructure in the European Union with traffic encrypted in transit.
